B2 CASTLEGAR NEWS, May 24, war | Berry coaching Montreal? By Terry Scott agent, claim, bilingualism is one of MONTREAL (CP) — Berry as next coach of Mon- treal Canadiens? It’s only a rumor, of course, but speculation has been fair play since Claude Ruel re- signed last month, leaving the Canadiens’ coaching spot vacant, Berry's name joined the list of potential candidates Friday when he announced from the “Thore aren't too many NHL coaching jobs available, other than possibly Hartford and Montreal.” The position in Montreal seems as suited to the 87- year-old Berry as the count- less other .candidates who have been grist for the daily rumor mill, COMES FROM SYSTEM Berry was weaned in the Canad: system, having his Kings, the National Hockey League team he had guided since April 21, 1978, “Certainly I'd love to bwe- come the next coach of the Canadiens,” Berry said in a telephone interview from his home in Palos Verdes, Calif. “This decision to resign from the Kings only took ‘place Wednesday, and this is a holiday weekend for us. I'm going to think out a few things over the long weekend and possibly get myself an spent 10 years with the or- ganization before joining Los Angeles, first as a player and then as a coach.’ As bench boss of the Kings, Berry compiled an over-all won-lost-tied record of 107-94-39, guiding the club to an all-time high of 48 vic- tories and fourth place last season despite a crippling leg injury to left winger Charlie Simmer in the final month of play. And if, as some people the criteria for the Montreal post, Berry says he can get’ the message across in either Inguage. “I don't think I could sell in French for IBM, but I can get along OK when it comes to ockey.” Berry has no " difficulty translating what it would mean ot move behind the bench of the tradition- steeped Canadiens, “(Pittsburgh Penguins coach) Eddie Johnston had the perfect simile when he said coaching the Canadiens is like managing the New York Yankees. With the Canadiens, the Yankees and the Green Bay Packers of the Vince Lombardi years there is an era of tradition, success and class." . QUESTION REMAINS Does that mean Berry would be willing to entertain a coaching offer from Cana- diens managing director Ir- ving Grundman? “Listen, if someone’ from the Swedish or Yugoslavian national hockey teams made mean offer, Td talk to them,” sald Berry, “I'm not a very good sitter.” Berry said his decision to leave Los Angeles came after Kings owner Dr. Jerry Buss chose not to exercise the two option years on his contract that expired in April. In- stead, Buss offered Berry 2 one-year deal, “We went into the playoffs with 99 points, and at the be- ginning of the season we bad a target of 88 points,” Berry said. “We surpassed the tar- get despite losing Simmer. “We atecomplished so much, but when it came time to discuss my contract they . chose not to exercise the two option years but to negotiate a one-year deal which I found unacceptable.” SHSS and KJSS do well Two local track and field teams did well at the West Kootenay Track and Field Championships in Warfield on Wednesday. Stanley Humphries Secondary School (SHSS) placed second in the A Division, right behind Trail’s J.L. Crowe. Trail had 509 points while SHSS had 368. .

At the end of this weekend, we should be halfway through our schedule, Unfortunately the weather didn't want to - co-operate, and some games will have to be'made up during the weekend. This year we were fortunate to associate our Pony and Colt Divisions with the Nelson League. This is proving a worthy experience and gives more variety and enthusiasm to our local minor players. The enthusiastic play, spirit and all our effort of our players is very exciting. It is a sad sight when so few parents show up to see their sons perform, and show. the “All Our Effort.” This year we had an increase in registration and our final registration is 200. The executive wishes to have 200 to help and their ‘boys along. The increase in {on is vi ing as it not only adds tomore minor baseball plage but also givea larger group to pick our all stars. Talking about all stars, our area will be hosting the 1981 Bronco Zone Play-Off in July, so anyone interested in helping, please contact any one of the executive. | The following are some of last week's scores.

NHL in NHL in good condition Attendanceupovertwoper cent BLOOMINGTON, MINN. {AP) — Despite inflation, escalating ticket prices and no network television con- tract, John Ziegler, president of the National Hockey League, walks around with a smile on his face. “This year, attendance was up a little over two per cent at a time when the economy is down in many of our cities,” says Ziegler. “The hockey fan remains loyal and is sticking with our sport asa main form of entertainment. “The hockey fan is part of an elite group, extremely affected by loyalty. Once you become a hockey fan, it’s almost a terminal case.” Ticket prices are skyroc- keting in some places in some sports, but Ziegler said that is not a problem in the NHL. “we are always concerned with pricing,” he says. “But our increases have been a little behind the rate of inflation. “When you look at it market-to-market, more times the increase in price is acatchup. It may not be easy for the individual fan to take but our fans pretty much have stuck with us.” What about attracting new fans by expanding, Ziegler was asked? “In the past selectionof franchise cities, in some of the areas we tried to push a Product where it wasn’t wanted,” he says. “I can’t sa: how long we'll stick with 21 teams but expansion is not a topic of discussion right now." . FREE AGENCY TALKS The major subject in hoc- key this summer will be the negotiations between the owners and players regard- ing free agency. The league and the players association have a collective bargaining agreement which the players this Wed: 's East-West Ki: ten: Track meet in Warfield. can terminate as of Septem- ber, 1982. The players association wants total free agency, or something comparable to baseball's market, in which only draft picks are used for compensation. The owners say they won't accept anything like the baseball plan. If they can’t reach agree- ment on free agent move- ment, termination and a strike would appear immi- nent, though not next season. “We will take a firm stand,” but we're not at a deadline,” says Ziegler. “There will have to be give and take on both sides. “We'll have to settle face- to-face, not .outside in the press. Since the NHLPA started, we have been able to work out our di Ziegler fully realizes a free-agent shopping spree like that held in baseball each year could destroy the NHL. As it is, there aren't all that many healthy franchises. ‘We don't have access to the figures but I would say about one-third to 40 per cent NFL club Oakland TAMPA, FLA.
